Reply from Freight Rate Central

Dear Frank,

When you got the quote from our online quotation system you specified that the freight you were shipping weighed 110 lbs. The carrier reweighed your shipment at their terminal and it came out at 295 lbs which was explained to you in an email. We tried to see about getting a courtesy credit from the carrier for you seeing as you had mistakenly inputted the weight in Lbs and not Kilos, but that request was denied unfortunately. We here at Freight Rate Central strive to provide a safe, reliable, and timely freight shipping service to all of our customers, but this service is dependent on the information provided to us at the time that the shipment is quoted. I wish there was more we can do on this, but once you initialed a chargeback which ruled in our favor our hands were tied. If you have any additional questions please reach out to our support team. Thank you

Kindest Regards,

Freight Rate Central Support Team

Good Work

Getting quotes is easy and fast. Like the flexibility of choosing carriers. Sometimes tricky figuring out the freight class.
Occasionally have to follow up on the status of a BOL.
Otherwise everything has been pretty smooth and customer service has been very helpful when calling in.
Keep up the good work.

So far so good!

So far so good! Have been in contact with Shane Black re our LTL. He is prompt, professional and friendly. Most of all he has so far delivered in a timely manner. Now we just wait for ETA on delivery side to see how things flow with transit.

Helpful team, delayed shipment

Booking was easy and I received my bill of lading shortly after booking. The FRC team was helpful whenever I called to track my shipment that was delayed by 3 days :( I guess unavoidable in logistics these.

Reliable

FRC tends to be very reliable and competitive with their prices. Sometimes I shop around and find a lower rate but not always. I've used them 5-10 times and have never had a bad experience.

FRC helped tremendously with shipment from problematic warehouse

I had a shipment from a warehouse that turned out to be a huge pain - the warehouse gave constant problems causing unsuccessful pickups (several times). FRC was great in that I could always get someone on the phone to help me reschedule or change destination seamlessly. Every FRC rep I spoke with was great and helpful.

Fraud Charges

This company try to quote lower price on internet for freight booking once we confirm they raise price when they pick up this not enough, they even try to charge twice same charge by saying freight was weight higher where we know the weight of cargo so this fraud company do not use this company for your trucking needs.

Great

Great rates, great service! Tracking website is good too, but information is not always up to date, that's the only thing I would request to improve.

Worst experience ever

Worst experience ever! Last September I had engaged FRC to move my household goods from the Atlanta area to somewhere near Chicago. I specifically mentioned verbally and in writing when placing the order that I needed the goods to be delivered a few days after the freight container reached Chicago as I wouldn't have possession of my new home until then. The person I interacted with assured me the container would be stored at a secure location until I was ready to receive them. Not only did they not put that into the contract, the truck itself never arrived, leaving me completely stranded and scurrying to find a new transporter at the last minute at exorbitant rates. In retrospect, that actually was a good thing as there wouldn't have been anyone to receive the goods since they had not put the delayed delivery requirement into the contract. They also made me buy huge quantities of blankets and ratchet straps to secure and protect my goods during transport. Plus I had to request friends to build a wooden ramp for loading the goods since their container didn't come with one. They had assured me the ramp available for rent at Home Depot would be sufficient for the purpose but I later discovered it was woefully inadequate. Although they refunded my booking amount, I had to unnecessarily spend $1200 to provision all materials, have the ramp built and pay for labor. This on top of the mental agony my family and I had to go through because of their mismanagement. I requested them and waited for a long time for them to make me whole with the money I wasted but they never bothered to respond.
